Interesting! Looks a bit different from what I'm used to seeing......though will most probably go along with your identification. Will be interested to see how this progresses or if others appear nearby. Maybe it looks a bit different just because all those hungry instects down your way have eaten all of the dark olive-brown spore mass off that top section.
Like your image of the 'fly':)

Pam, it collapsed overnight in the rain. I've added a photo in case that helps.

Your identification has been confirmed. The thing that I found interesting/confusing is that this species has a hollow stalk and the tip of the fungus usually presents as a circular hole, which in this case seems solid!! Life has many a conundrum - which of course makes life interesting!! Good record. Not surprised it had collapsed as they don't tend to last for very long particularly with a bit of rain......
